We use our legitimate organisational interest as the legal basis for communications by post and email. In the case of postal mailings, you may opt out of receiving these at any time using the contact details at the end of this policy or by updating your contact preferences in your online account with us.

In the case of email, we will give you an opportunity to opt out of receiving electronic communications during your first purchase with us. If you do not opt out, we will provide you with an option to unsubscribe in every email that we send you subsequently. Alternatively, you can use the contact details at the end of this policy or update your contact preferences in your online account with us.

Such information is compiled using publicly available data about you.

If you make a donation or become a member of one of our philanthropic membership schemes, we may ask if you would like your name to be credited in publicity materials and donor attribution boards displayed in public areas at The Lyceum.

We may conduct further research or use profiling or wealth screening techniques to ensure communications are relevant and timely and to provide an improved experience for our supporters. Profiling also allows us to target our resources effectively. We do this because it allows us to raise more funds, sooner, and more cost-effectively than we otherwise would.

Use of ‘Cookies’
Our website uses something called cookies. A cookie is a small text file of letters and numbers that gets put onto your computer when you visit a website. This allows the site to distinguish you from other users. A cookie isn't a computer programme, can't read files on your computer, can't carry viruses and can't install malware onto your computer.

At The Lyceum we use essential cookies to keep track of what you have in your basket, process transactions and to remember you when you return to our site. We also use non-essential cookies to track how you use our site for analytical purposes and to monitor digital advertising.

If you do not wish to enable cookies, you will still be able to browse the site but you will not be able to login or purchase tickets.

There are certain circumstances under which we may disclose your personal information to third parties. These are as follows:

To our own subsidiary Lyceum Theatre Trading Ltd. when it is necessary for them to be able to provide you with products or services that you’ve requested such as interval drinks

To our service providers who process data on our behalf and on our instructions (for example our ticketing system software provider). We require all third parties to respect the privacy of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions

To specific, named visiting companies whose performances you have attended

When you book for a performance that is produced or co-produced by a company other than The Lyceum, we may ask if you wish to opt-in to receive information directly from them. If you choose to do this we will inform you once this information has been passed on and the company in question will then contact you to give you the option to opt-out. Conversely, on occasion we may obtain your details from a third party that you have given permission to share your details. If we contact you based on this, we will always state where this information comes from in the first communication and give you a clear opt-out option

On occasion, The Lyceum may act as a ticket agent to sell tickets on behalf of another company, organisation or promoter. These third parties do not have access to our systems, however we may share basic contact information with them to enable them to administer your purchase. Where we are selling on behalf of another company we will make this clear to you when booking

We may share anonymised personal information with other organisations, particularly the audience development agency Culture Republic , who use this to analyse our audience development programmes, ticket sales and self-generated funding to understand the impact of the public investment made in The Lyceum.

We will always ask for your consent to pass on your personal details to other arts organsiations.
